Many people will have seen the extraordinarily moving video (shown above) about the Spanish city of Salt in Catalonia which almost seemed to embody the predicament of Europe: a once contented little town suffered from a massive immigrant influx under the Socialist mayor, Iolanda Pineda, who seemed stonily indifferent to the concerns of her own people. Crimes rates soared; informal Islamic tribunals began to operate in the town; life became a day-to-day nightmare for the indigenous Europeans. The immigrant population in the city now stands at 43%. Eventually, following the murder of local teenager Oscar Cruz by a Mohammedan, the people mobilised against the elite in a moving demonstration outside the town hall.
